Chapter Thirteen

Oliver had been waiting for a bombshell, something that Lobo thought would push him over the edge if he had any doubts about killing Azazel Priest, but he’d never expected something like this.

“No one knows who my father is,” Oliver said, needing a moment to gather his armor once more and build the wall that would prevent Lobo from reading his mind while his emotions swirled inside of him.

“I understand that is what you were told. But, you must have doubted that. Surely, someone had to know?” Lobo’s voice was steady, his gaze unwavering. “Or, perhaps you doubted the entire story? Vampires breeding with vampire hunters? It had to sound like complete and utter nonsense.”

That was true; Oliver had doubted everything Miranda’s vampire hunter father had told them.

“I think it’s time you told me how you know these things,” Oliver said. He was unsuccessful in keeping the tension from his voice.

“Fair enough. In your shoes, I would doubt everyone too.” Lobo smiled. When Oliver did not reply or return his smile, he continued, “Just as Azazel Priest binds some of the walking dead to him, many choose to remain in my service as you have seen for yourself. Some of the ones who serve me are deeply entrenched among those he and others trust.”

“Spies?” He was sure no walking dead spies had grown close to anyone in his family. He’d never seen or heard of anyone who had the odd auras Lobo’s servants had either.

“I prefer to think of them as messengers.”

“So, these messengers told you about Miranda and me? About the experiment that resulted in our odd DNA?” It seemed far-fetched but possible. Oliver was learning that just about anything was possible.

“Yes. The Vladula clan and your own Ripley family also put the word out to all vampire and hunter families about you, so there’s not a clan in the world that isn’t aware of your existence. Believe it or not, you are lucky I found you first. Anyone else would have tried to kill you on sight or collect the reward for capturing you and bringing you to those who would rather experiment with you to see what doors you might be able to unlock with your unusual abilities.”

“Not broken my bones, locked me up, and threatened to kill my girlfriend?” Oliver said with a faint smile.

Lobo chuckled and shrugged, his dark eyes glittering. “As I said before, most of that was unintended. On the highway, my men tried to tell you that they meant you no harm.”

“But they did knock my car off the road. And what of the first time? When you came after me in the shape of a wolf? You didn’t seem like you wanted to be friends then.”

“Can you blame me? Since you were born, we’ve heard legends and tales about what power you might have. And you were supposed to be dead. Then, you show up—alive, a powerful male on the run with another just like you? Neither of you has any idea of the potential you have, do you? I had to see what you were made of.
